Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching arrangement for displaying a value balance.
- Switching arrangements of this type are used, for example, in coin-operated telephones of a more recent type in order to display the balance in the form of the remaining credit which currently results from the coin specification on the one hand and the charge according to the time of the conversation on the other hand.
- Another way of displaying a value balance is represented by the multi-trip strip tickets for public transport, which are issued against a cash advance and must be canceled in sections according to the use of the transport, while the number of sections that have not yet been canceled is still available Represents balance.
- the invention is based on the knowledge ,, 'that it is a nuisance in many areas of daily life, to the diverse range of services and goods comparatively low value can only be served if a suitable fee - possibly only in certain coin types - is paid.
- This applies for example, to the large area of vending machines for the delivery of goods or for use in the service sector (locker system, access revolving door to exhibitions or baths).
- the invention has for its object to provide a switching arrangement of the type mentioned above, by means of which a practically cashless use of services and goods offers of different values is made possible.
- such a balance card can be issued in a sauna, in a laundrette, in a cafeteria or factory canteen, for a self-service copier or from a petrol station to prospective customers, possibly against payment of a fee for a basic credit.
- a balance card previously included in the device introduced by the device is further reduced, whereby the balancing can take place via abstract value units (value points) with only a few different standard charges or directly in monetary value.
- moisture, kink and abrasion-resistant plastic-based material can be used, which can be used for a long time even under unfavorable environmental conditions.
- the preferred embodiment of the read-write device according to claim 2 has the particular advantage of being able to read the balance card and save the new balance with an easily controllable, trouble-free working electromechanical device.
- the arrangement of the read and write heads according to claim 4 has the advantage that the rough outer surface of the conveyor belt cleans the active surfaces in the area of the stray field slots immediately before and after a balance card slides over the read and write heads.
- a fork coupler arrangement has the advantage of avoiding malfunctions due to the use of balance cards which are not determined according to their format for the read / write device, and at the same time to prevent trickery by duplicating a balance card with serial multiple information storage on its magnetic track .
- a read head / write head arrangement provides the particular advantage of being able to immediately check information newly transmitted to the magnetic track or to be able to correct information identified as incorrect on the magnetic track in the course of issuing balance cards.
- the additional measure according to claim 8 enables circuitry-free control of the movement of the balance card during the transition between evaluating the previous balance and storing the new balance.
- the evaluation of the output signals of the format fork coupler according to claim 9 ensures that a determination and processing of the actual balance stored in the magnetic track only takes place when the reader / writer is fed with a balance card of such dimensions that are suitable for processing in this device is intended.
- the additional measure according to claim 12 ensures that a predeterminable balance limit value can no longer be undershot by further actuation of the selector switch, for example because the credit risk would become too great.
- the additional measure according to claim 13 makes it possible to regain the availability via the customer's own balance card when the predetermined limit value is reached by providing a monetary value 9
- the further training measure according to claim 15 is of particular practical importance, since in any case the inexperienced user of a balance card of the type considered here may be tempted to read a product or to use a service after reading the selector switch and taking note of the resulting new balance -To remove the writing device without having previously removed its balance card with the new balance stored on the magnetic track from the device.
- an access blocking gate or one Vending machine opening flap only takes place in that the newly described balance card is removed from the reader / writer again, it is ensured that the user takes possession of his balance card again before using the selected and already netted service.
- the development according to claim 16 makes it possible to carry out a settlement of the final balance without issuing a credit and deleting the balance information on the balance card magnetic track without the need for personnel.
- the switching arrangement according to the invention is also suitable for the first or new edition of a balance card to an interested party.
- Such a new balance card can be equipped with a zero balance or with a template balance in favor of the interested party.
- the possible uses of the switching arrangement according to the invention are particularly flexible when the additional measure according to claim 18 is implemented, because the prospective buyer can then be given a balance card with a stored balance in accordance with, for example, the amount of small change currently available, without being cumbersome for suitable amounts of money and / or coin types must be searched.
- the screen control is not only an indication of the current balance and possibly reaching a limit balance that can no longer be undershot or possible on service attempt with a non-matching balance card; rather, the screen can also be used to display operating instructions and other information to the user via electron beam control circuits known as such.
- the switching arrangement according to the invention thus makes it possible in practically all areas of daily life, in the areas of public and commercial service offerings (libraries, means of transport, baths, sports facilities, fueling facilities, cleaning salons) as well as in the goods sector (vending machine sales) the previously cumbersome and expensive to process cash Replace payment with a debit that is suitable for everyone, except for the temporary replenishment of a credit balance by one any currently available value is carried out completely without cash.
- Double-executed lines represent connections for the transmission of (multi-bit) information, while the simply executed lines in the drawing contain switching connections for the transmission of control signals.
- a read / write device 1 with a read head 2 and a write head 3 is designed to be able to draw in or out a balance card 4 in the form of a card-shaped information carrier with a magnetic track 5 on the underside 6 and thereby magnetically store it on the magnetic track 5 To be able to scan or change information.
- This information is binary coded and preferably stored several times in series in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the magnetic track 5, so that the stored information is not lost even if the balance card 4 is shortened at one end, for example due to kink injuries or other mechanical effects, or a part of the magnetic track is lost Peeling off the card carrier material should have become unusable.
- the active run 1o of the conveyor belt 9 slides over the active surfaces of the read head 2 and the write head 3 and over a guide pad 11, over which the underside 6 of the balance card 4 gripped by the conveyor belt 9 is pushed forwards or backwards.
- the guide pad 11 has a condensation-free, smooth surface 12, which consists, for example, of a coating with a plastic plate made of a backing layer of phenol resin-impregnated sodium cellulose paper and a top layer of melamine-resin-impregnated noble sulfide cellulose paper, or of another moisture-insensitive and abrasion-resistant plastic coating, to ensure that the magnetic trace is removed when the magnetic trace is detected 5 no mechanical or electrical faults occur in the course of the forward or return transport of the balance card 4.
- the outer surface 13 of the conveyor belt 9 which slides over the read and write heads 2, 3 is preferably roughened so that on the one hand the upper side 14 can be securely gripped by the read / write device 1 during the forward or backward movement and not exactly a balance card 4 on the read and write heads 2, 3 is led past to clean their active surfaces 15 due to the abrasive movement.
- a drive motor 16 which can be reversed in its direction of rotation is in mechanical rotary connection 17 with one of the deflection rollers 8 in order to set the conveyor belt 9 in motion for pulling in or out a balance card 4, depending on the control command supplied by a switching logic 18.
- a first format fork coupler 19 is arranged between the transfer slot 7 and the front deflecting roller 8, which detects the width and possibly also the strength of the balance card 4 inserted into the transfer slot 7 without contact and emits an output signal if the corresponding measured values match predetermined values, if in so far as an information carrier card intended for this read / write device 1 was introduced as a balance card 4.
- a further format fork coupler 20 is arranged behind the first format fork coupler 19, namely in the longitudinal direction of the guide pad 11 by a distance 1 behind the former, which is slightly smaller than the length K the balance card 4, measured in the direction of the longitudinal extent of its magnetic track 5.
- An AND gate 21 thus delivers an output signal only if, in the course of pulling in a balance card 4 by means of the conveyor belt 9, a balance card 4 of predetermined geometry is located between the two format fork couplers 19, 20.
- Distances L between the front start of the active conveyor belt strand 1 0 , that is to say the line on the guide base 11 in which it is affected by the front deflection roller 8, and the stray field slot as the active surface 15 of the write head 3 or between the active surface 15 of the reading head 2 and the rear end of the active strand 1o is at least as large as the length K of the magnetic track 5 on the balance card 4. This ensures that the entirety of all information stored one after the other on the magnetic track 5 from the reading head 2 or Print head 3 can be scanned once when the balance card 4 is pulled in or when it is extended.
- the read head 2 and the write head 3, if there are separate components, are arranged next to one another in the direction of the active strand 10, and preferably in such a way that the write head 3 is positioned in the direction of the transfer slot 7 in front of the read head 2.
- This makes it possible to write the magnetic track 5 in the course of pulling in a balance card 4 and to immediately read the stored information again for checking purposes, although this is not taken into account in the basic circuit diagram of the drawing.
- this arrangement enables the information stored in the magnetic track 5 in the course of moving the balance card 4 out of a reverse reversing or waiting position towards the transfer slot 7 read and process and easy to change, for example to correct when errors are found.
- a rear control fork coupler 22 is arranged behind the rear end of the active conveyor belt strand 10 and outputs a signal.
- This reverse control fork coupler 22 can also be moved closer to the read head 2 if it cooperates with a switching arrangement for determining the retraction path of the balance card 4. It is only important that the balance card 4 does not leave the active strand 10 at its rear end in order to be able to extend it again by reversing the drive direction of the conveyor belt 9.
- the information stored several times in succession on the magnetic track 5 of a balance card 4 represents a value balance, which can be positive (in favor of the cardholder) or negative (at the expense of the cardholder).
- the read head 2 is followed by a read circuit 23, as is known as such from the magnetic tape storage technology.
- This reading circuit 23 expediently contains not only a control circuit with regard to undisturbed Data recording, which can be based, for example, on the evaluation of the matching information stored in succession in the magnetic track 5, but also a control circuit with regard to a code that indicates whether the balance card 4 inserted into the transfer slot 7 is one that is assigned to the present system.
- an error display 24 is triggered, which transmits a corresponding message to the operator and, for example, asks the operator to change another one (the imprint on the top 14 according to this read / write function).
- the exit control input 26 of a changeover circuit 27 for the drive motor 16 is controlled via an OR gate 25 in the changeover logic 18, that is to say this is immediately reversed in the opposite direction of movement of the conveyor belt 9 for re-extension of the wrong balance card 4, blocking one Write circuit 49.
- the balance information read out from the magnetic track 5 is transmitted to a balancing circuit 28 known as such from cash register data technology.
- a balance display device 29 connected downstream thereof shows the user this on his balance card 4 available balance alphanumerically, for example via display tubes or an LED grid.
- the rear or reverse steering fork coupler 22 delivers, for. B. via a waveform circuit 3 0 connected downstream, an output signal via an OR gate 31 to the reset input 32 of a bistable flip-flop 33 in the switching logic 18 to shut down the balance card 4 until further notice in the device 1 in the waiting position.
- This bistable flip-flop 33 had previously been set by the output signal of the AND gate 21 in order to drive the pull-in control input 35 of the changeover circuit 27 for the conveyor belt drive motor 16-in the presence of a permissible balance card 4 at the beginning of the active run 10 and while it was doing this Retracting movement of the conveyor belt 9 to release the reading circuit 23.
- an extension tilting stage 36 that is still set is reset.
- an enable signal is given to an enable input 37 of a selector switch 38.
- this selector switch 38 By manual actuation of this selector switch 38, for example, the user of the system, whose balance files 4 are currently in that backward waiting position, can make his selection from a range of services or goods. The selection made is associated with a certain value, which, encoded according to points or directly in a currency, is transmitted from a load circuit 39 in a correspondingly encoded form as the output signal of the reading circuit 23 to the balancing circuit 28. This determines the new, correspondingly reduced balance, which then appears on the balance display device 29.
- the new balance resulting from the load at the output of the offset circuit 28 is also queried by a balance comparison circuit 4o, to the comparison input 41 of which a limit balance transmitter 42 is connected.
- This can be set to a desired positive balance, which has a guarantee or deposit function in favor of the installer of the system against the user, or to a negative limit balance based on the user's creditworthiness, for example by providing identification information within the encrypted information can be individualized on the magnetic track 5.
- a control input 43 on the limit detector 42 is connected to an information output 44 of the reading circuit 23 for changing the limit balance in accordance with such information.
- the limit balancer 42 can also simply be set to the value zero in order to ensure in favor of the operator of such a system that the user never gets into a negative balance.
- the limit value output 45 of the comparison circuit 4o provides an optical and / or acoustic signal transmitter 46 controlled.
- a blocking switch 47 downstream of the limit value output 45 must be closed. This is followed by a lock input 48 of a write circuit 49 and a lock input 50 of a release device 51, and the blocking switch 47 also sets the flip-flop 36 via the OR gate 25 to control the extension control input 26 on the reversing circuit 27 of the drive motor 16. While the drive of the conveyor belt 9 for returning the balance card 4 from its previous rest position in the area of the rear fork coupler 22, the dominating reset input 32 of the bistable flip-flop 33 is controlled via the OR gate 31, in order to ensure that the pull-in control input is not activated at the same time 35 takes place.
- the write head 3 is not activated again during this output movement of the balance card 4, that is to say no new loading; rather, the balance card 4 is reissued with the old balance because the current request via the selector switch 38 would have led to the limit being undershot.
- the extension flip-flop 36 is set, ie only the release input 34 of the write circuit 49 is controlled simultaneously with the extension control input 26 for return movement of the balance card 4 from its rest position in the region of the reverse control fork coupler 22.
- This balance information is written several times in succession via the write head 3 into the magnetic track 5, while the balance card 4 is pushed over it to the balance card 4 at the transfer slot 7 with the new balance.
- a bistable flip-flop 52 is set in an enable circuit 53 in order to prepare an inhibit gate 54.
- this only delivers an output signal when the retracted balance card 4 has been removed from the first fork coupler 19 arranged directly behind the transfer slot 7.
- the flip-flop 52 is then reset again after an adjustable delay time via an inverting delay stage 55.
- the operator of the selector 38 and holder of this balance card 4 can make use of the selected service or goods offer, for example go to the location of a locker that during this delay period of the release facility 51 for manual opening and removal of goods due to activation of a door magnetic lock is released.
- tokens such as money
- a cashier device 56 In order to increase the available balance again when the balance approaches or even falls below it, tokens, such as money, can be entered into a cashier device 56 while the balance card 4 remains in its waiting position in the area of the rear fork coupler 22, that is to say via the signal shaping circuit 30
- Release input 57 is activated. If the release input 57 is not activated, depending on the design of the cashier device 56, the inserted money can be stored until further notice or can be transferred directly to a coin return device 58. If the money is received because the release input 57 is activated and, for example, a coin checking device in the cashier device 56 does not provide the opposite command, and the release input 59 of the charging circuit 39 is also activated, the information from the cashier device 56 is converted to feed the balancing switch.
- the OR flip-flop 36 is again set via the OR gate 25 to control the control input 26, i. that is, the balance card 4 is advanced from its rear rest position in the direction of the transfer slot 7, the new, more positive balance now being written into the magnetic track 5 via the write head 3.
- a return key 6o is provided in order to pay out any positive balance on the balance card 4 from the coin return device 58 if available leave when the balance card 4 is read in and remains in the rear waiting position, that is, the current balance is pending at the output of the balancing circuit 28 and thus appears on the display device 29.
- an AND gate 61 connected downstream of the reversing fork coupler 22 activates the release input 62 of a conversion circuit 63 downstream of the balancing circuit 28, which activates the coin return device 58 on the read balance card 4 in accordance with the indicated plus balance, when the restore button 6o is actuated, while the output of the offset circuit 28 is reset accordingly.
- the exit control input 26 is controlled by the output of the AND gate 61 via the OR gate 25 and, in the course of the return movement of the balance card 4 via the write head 3 to the transfer slot 7, the balance information on the magnetic track 5 accordingly changed.
- a card dispenser 64 with a storage magazine 65, dispenser roller 66 arranged below it, roller drive 67 and removal axle 68 is provided.
- the balance cards 4 stacked in the storage magazine 65 can be provided with an initial balance on their magnetic track 5. If a corresponding amount of value has been entered into the cashier 56 without a balance card 4 being located in the area of the rear fork coupler 22, an inhibit gate becomes 69 switched through, which drives its enable input 7o of a request switch 71, the actuation of which now triggers the start of the Roller drive 67 for issuing the bottom balance card 4 from the storage magazine 65.
- the balance card 4 from the storage magazine 65 is not transmitted directly to a removal slot 68, but is presented via a mechanical deflection guide 72 at the rear end of the guide pad 11 in order to then provide the magnetic track 5 with the positive balance via the write head 3 and to the transfer slot 7 output.
- the waiting position of a balance card 4 does not have to be in the rear area of the read / write device 1, under the reverse control fork coupler 22, as assumed in the drawing to simplify the essential functional relationships. Rather, for special applications, after reading and transferring the actual balance to the balancing circuit 28 and deleting the content of the magnetic track 5, the balance card 4 can immediately be moved back into the area of the format fork couplers 19, 2o and remain here in the waiting position to let. For the new registration of the new balance, such a to-and-fro movement with final output via the transfer slot 7 is also required, which then, for example, enables the control options already mentioned to be realized by directly reading out the information which has just been newly written onto the magnetic track 5.
- the balance display device 29, an optical signal generator 46 and error displays 24 can be functionally summarized and, if necessary, can be displayed alphanumerically, possibly together with additional information for the user, if a display device 73 with a character display circuit 74 is used in accordance with the known use of data display devices. as is symbolically taken into account in FIG. 1.
- the generator circuits known as such in cooperation with microprocessors for the symbolic and / or alphanumeric information display can be used.
- the part of an operating instruction that is currently of interest for example in relation to the actuation of the request switch 71 for the initial card issuance, with or without a positive balance, can then be displayed on the display device 73 as needed, so that the handling of the Switching arrangement according to the invention and the corresponding read-write device not yet experienced does not have to first look for the corresponding part from an operating manual attached somewhere.
- the release device 51 switches to one of various possible output lines, for example in order to release a specific one of all opening flaps of a vending machine for the removal of goods.
- the read / write device 1 can also be set up as a central device for a large number of spatially distributed devices which can be addressed via the release device 51, for example centrally for a plurality of fuel dispensers connected to it or self-service copying devices.
- the only criterion is to ensure by spatial and temporal assignment that the user can go to the place of the service after removing the new balance card, without anyone making use of the fact that the release device 51 has already been activated is. If necessary, this activation can not only be provided for a limited time due to the dimensioning of the delay stage 55, but can also only be activated with a time delay predetermined according to the distances to be bridged. In the meantime, another user can already insert his balance card into the read / write device 1 and make his choice via the selector switch 38, while after the previous user has been operated, the release device 51 switches to this newly selected offer.
- the selector switch 38 assigns a single, fixed function and to use read / write devices 1 of the type described in many ways.
- the load circuit 39 can then also be omitted, since different loads can no longer occur.
- the switching arrangement according to the invention can also be used advantageously in the checkout area of department stores or the like, in which case the selector switch 38 is operated by the checkout staff or is replaced by a separate reading device for price awards which can be removed from the goods.
- the balance card 4 then represents the individual credit card of the department store customer.
